Nearly half of us order at least some of our groceries online - so the supermarket delivery driver has become a familiar sight on our streets and at our front doors.

And if you're one of the one in 10 who do all their grocery shopping over the internet you might have been impressed with just how helpful and cheerful most of them seem to be.

With online grocery sales predicted to reach £15bn by 2020, supermarkets are constantly recruiting for customer delivery drivers. The bad news is that not all of them offer jobs based in Wales, with Ocado's nearest base of operations being in Bristol.

Here's what they earn and what you need to be a delivery driver for one of the Big Five supermarkets.

Asda have around 20 drivers and the same amount of personal shoppers per store, who help collect and deliver groceries to customers.

You’ll need to be a great ‘people person’, committed to giving customers great service every day. You must have held a full driving licence for at least 3 years, and have the ability to drive a 3.5 ton automatic van. You must also have no more than 3 points on your licence.

What is the average pay?

According to a driver, the pay is £8.67 per hour plus a competitive benefits package, including annual bonus and colleague discount.

What are the average hours?

Asda offers both full and part-time roles. A standard full-time role would be between 35 and 38 hours per week.

Are there any jobs available in Wales?

Asda said: "We are always looking for the best applicants to become drivers and personal shoppers at Asda. We have a number of opportunities across our stores in Wales, which can be found at https://www.asda.jobs/ "

Ocado

Ocado delivers both for Waitrose as Ocado and for Morrisons as Morrisons Online. It doesn't have a base in Wales but does deliver here.

Key requirements are experience in customer service, no driving disqualifications within the last 10 years, no more than 3 points currently on your driving licence, and you must have held your licence for 12 months or over.

Experience of driving commercial vehicles and experience of multi-drop deliveries are desirable.
